TCS automatically comes on whenever the vehicle is
started. To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road
conditions, the system should always be left on. But TCS
can be turned off if needed. The system should be turned
off if the vehicle ever gets stuck in sand, mud, ice, or
snow and rocking the vehicle is required. See Rocking
Your Vehicle to Get It Out on page 4-21.
When TCS is turned off, the StabiliTrak/TCS warning
light comes on the instrument panel cluster and
TRACTION CONTROL OFF briefly displays.

TCS can be turned
off by pressing the
StabiliTrak/TCS button,
located next to the
gear shift lever.
The traction control system can be activated again by
pressing the traction control button. While the traction
control system is activated, the StabiliTrak/TCS warning
light comes on the instrument panel cluster and
TRACTION CONTROL ON briefly displays.
If the system is limiting wheel spin when the button is
pressed, the StabiliTrak/TCS warning light comes on the
instrument panel cluster. The system will not turn off
until there is no longer a current need to limit wheel
spin. Turn the system back on by pressing the button
again. If the light does not come on, TCS might not
be working and the vehicle should be serviced by
your dealer/retailer.
Adding non-dealer/non-retailer accessories can affect
the vehicle's performance. See Accessories and
Modifications on page 5-3 for more information.
